Foot Rub
Between market runs, subway transfers and hours on your feet, your feet carry more of the day than anywhere else. Sink into a comfortable chair while we release the tension, point by point.
What is the Foot Rub at Rio Grande Spa?
A seated foot and lower-leg treatment at 115 Mott Street in Chinatown, New York — the foot reflexology our blue awning has advertised on Mott Street for years. Sessions start from $35, or $45 for 45 minutes. Open daily 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM; call (212) 965-1165 or walk in.
You stay dressed and stay upright. Roll up your trousers, settle back into a padded recliner, and let someone else do the work while the room stays quiet around you.
The treatment covers the whole foot — sole, arch, heel, each toe — then continues up through the ankle and calf, where a long day in the city tends to settle. Pressure runs from gentle to firm; some points will be tender the first time and ease with each pass. Tell us what feels right and we'll work at that level.
Full foot and lower-leg focus
Sole, arch and heel
Point-by-point pressure across the whole underside of the foot, with extra time on the arch and heel where standing all day does the most damage.
Ankle and calf
We continue up past the ankle into the lower leg, which quietly takes the load on stairs, hills and long subway platforms.
Stay dressed, stay comfortable
Sessions happen in a reclining chair in a shared, quiet lounge. Nothing to change into, nothing to plan around — ideal between errands.
Pairs with a back rub
Combine the two into one 90-minute visit for $80 and walk out feeling reset from shoulders to soles.
If you've been on your feet all day, this is the one
Restaurant and retail staff finishing a shift on Mott, Bayard or Canal. Visitors who've spent the afternoon walking the markets. Commuters who've been standing since Grand Street. Anyone whose feet ache by evening but who doesn't want a full-body treatment.
- After a long shift on your feet
- After a day of walking the city
- Before or after crossing the Manhattan Bridge
- When you want quiet, not conversation
